As consumers increasingly demand more responsible, ethical, and sustainable products, NATIVA™ Certification has become a leading standard that redefines how wool is produced and consumed.

This certification ensures full traceability from farm to brand, guaranteeing animal welfare, social responsibility, and environmental sustainability.

What is NATIVA™ Certification?

NATIVA Certification is a protocol developed by Chargeurs Luxury Materials, the global leader in luxury combed wool, which guarantees responsible practices throughout the entire natural fiber supply chain. Through strict controls and audits, NATIVA™ certifies the ethical origin and quality of each fiber, from sheep rearing to the final textile product.

Pillars of NATIVA™ Certification

Animal Welfare

NATIVA ensures compliance with high animal welfare standards on all certified farms. Each farmer has a management plan that includes:

• Adequate feeding
• Good breeding practices
• Animal behavior assessment
• Stress-free shearing
• Absolute prohibition of mulesing

Land and Environmental Management

The certification also promotes sustainable agricultural practices. Certified farms must protect soil quality, prevent environmental degradation, and minimize their ecological footprint.

At the industrial level, facilities must also reduce or eliminate their environmental impact.

Corporate Social Responsibility

True sustainability cannot exist without a commitment to people. NATIVA ensures the socioeconomic well-being of farmers and workers throughout the value chain.

As part of the United Nations Global Compact, NATIVA incorporates principles of human rights, decent work, environment, and anti-corruption.
